Jottit : Wiki 2.0

Filed in archive Newsdesk 2.0 on September 17, 2007

Wikis are fun. They always have been. They make documentation sharing very easy. The original concept of wikis is a system that everyone can edit, but some wikis come with (optional) user authentication, and a good example is Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that has learned from being a wiki without user authentication. As Wikipedia has become a major source of information and therefore powerful, people noticed the heavy use of the site as a source for other sites and started editing things. Not only personal things were edited, some even tried to cover up certain facts.

Enough about that. This morning a smile came upon my face as I discovered Jottit's existance. What is it ? Well, essentially, it is a Wiki. But it is so much nicer to work with than most wikis, I recommend Jottit to everyone looking for a Wiki-like solution on the internet.

In a few clicks, you have a page up. Now just enter a title and a subtitle, choose colors using sliders and you're done. Start typing your text and off you go. You can choose a domain (subdomain.jottit.com) and there you are. By filling out a password in your right top corner and clicking on 'claim' the page becomes password protected, although you can choose the security level.

What more can I say ? Just go there and find out for yourself. I love it.
